How does Microsoft handle DST servicing when a country decides to stop following DST?
Hi,
As it has in previous years, Morocco is suspending its DST period for the observation of the Muslim month of Ramadan from 03:00 on Sunday, April 19, 2020, to 02:00 on Sunday, May 31, 2020, in the Gregorian calendar.
During this period, clocks are turned back to Standard Time to shorten the evenings, making it easier for Muslims to observe the Ramadan fast during daylight hours.
On April 19, clocks are turned back at 03:00 to 02:00 to end the DST observation.
On May 31, clocks are set ahead at 02:00 to 03:00 to resume the DST observation.
